In 30 minutes, I'm watching the Lord of the Rings films for the 1ST TIME (thanks @OhMyMithrandir & @ButWhyThoPC)!
Because I have manners, all thoughts will be threaded below.
Feel free to mute this thread so you don't see Hobbitses all over your timeline for 9 hours.

Breakfast is ready and I have my café. Here we go.
Just so thankful that I get to listen to Cate Blanchett tell me the history of the Ring. Can she read me the history of everything?
I already love this movie for its extreme validation of short people
Chat is theorizing about who possesses the brain cells in this series and how many brain cells there are.
(hopefully less brain cells than rings, that's what makes it fun)
when private accounts quote-rt my tweets
BILBO'S HOUSE IS HUGE WHAT! THERE ARE SO MANY ROOMS
a house: has more than 2 rooms
me: wow you live in a mansion??????
me: wow you live in a mansion??????
I LOVE THESE TWO CHAOS HOBBIT BOYS.
Gender reveal party, it's a Dragon!
Did Bilbo at least leave the house to Frodo?
OH. NEVERMIND.
"BILBO ALEJANDRO JUAN CARLOS BAGGINS." - Gandalf doing that scary thing where he uses Bilbo's full name to scold him
We have reached Frodo's version of "BUT THAT WOULD LEAD THEM BACK... *shaky voice* hOmE"
pick one
IT'S COUNT DOOKU!
"... but you have elected the way of pain!" me killing a bug after it refuses to leave the apartment
Strange to introduce the true hero of the saga so late but we've just met Arwen!
Now that @swarzseawalker is in chat he is campaigning for Bald Legolas. Yes I'm telling on him
IT'S THE SCENE!
Overheard in the @ButWhyThoPC discord:
"Hey everyone, I missed a few minutes can you summarize what happened?"
EVERYONE IN CHAT: "They walked."
"Hey everyone, I missed a few minutes can you summarize what happened?"
EVERYONE IN CHAT: "They walked."
I really like this movie so far!
Thrilled that I'm finally understanding half of your 'ships and OTPs, LOTR fandom.
Even now, there is hope left.

So long, Sean Bean!

Sam is evidently not a partial owner of the group’s brain cell but he makes up for that with heart 


And that's Fellowship of the Ring! I am told that the next two will be even more emotional, so I'm thankful for this hour break we're taking in between.
THE TWO TOWERS (2002)
Gandalf.

I need a reel of all the dramatic close-ups in this film
Did they make Gollum's eyes bigger and shinier in this one to make him a loveable character or
Rohan. Home of the horse girls.
IT'S ZELDA SPELLMAN!
Oh to be a hobbit, relaxing/half-bored while listening to forest poetry
Did Merry and Pippin literally just argue their way into nearly getting eaten by a tree. Wow
The creep gets spared because of morals and other boring garbage?

NORMALIZE KILLING THE HECK OUT OF BAD GUYS ESPECIALLY THE ONES WHO ARE GROSS TO WOMEN
Anyway I believe in Eowyn supremacy
Huge score there with Aragorn happening to find a horse that can speak Elven

Legolas just took a page out of every 3 year old’s book and surfed down some stairs and honestly, I’ve never been more proud
THE NAZGUL ARE BACK!
This is why you don’t piss off Nature.
. @OhMyMithrandir and I are cheering for the thicc tree
“It’s me. It’s your Sam.”
There’s some good in this world, Mr. Frodo.
And it’s worth fighting for.
And it’s worth fighting for.
And that’s The Two Towers! We’ll be reconvening at 6:30pm PT on the @ButWhyThoPC Discord server for R E T U R N of the King*!

Boats, rivers, rain... is this gonna be the wettest Lord of the Rings movie?

His name is MERRY, ESQ.

“I didn’t think it would end this way.”
“End? No, the journey does not end here.”
Gandalf telling us that there’s at least another hour to go

Someone is making short jokes so I am sorting away a note to make sure we recreate this Kneel to the Hobbits scene when we meet IRL 


Tears are in my eyes and I greatly enjoyed the Lord of the Rings trilogy.
